Chapter 31: Murky and Unclear
Kong Yiyue leaned down with lightning speed and placed a kiss on his slightly warm lips.
In the large private room, even the sound of breathing seemed to stop with that kiss. On the LCD screen, the female singer sang sentimentally, one line after another:
“Haven't properly felt
The climate of blooming snowflakes
We shiver together
Will understand better
What tenderness is...”
The lyrics were lingering and ambiguous. Kong Yiyue's lips lingered on his handsome lips for a moment, and then she got up and left.
Fu Jinting maintained his original posture, the corners of his eyes slightly raised. He did not scold her for her indecent behavior, his eyes fixed on her.
Kong Yiyue felt a little guilty under his gaze. “Sorry, I made you suffer the punishment with me.” Although her words were full of apology, because of the close distance between the two, her sly look, with her eyes like silk, fell frankly into his eyes.
Fu Jinting just moved his lips slightly, “You really aren't ashamed!”
Kong Yiyue smiled slightly, noncommittal, just smiling brightly as she said to the stunned classmates behind her: “Well, I've completed the game penalty, you guys play, I don't want to play anymore.”
Saying that, she ignored everyone's suspicious gazes and sat down generously next to Fu Jinting. Just as she picked up the drink on the table, Fu Jinting reached out and stopped her: “Get a new bottle.”
“What's wrong?”
“Someone drank from that one, it's not clean.”
Fu Jinting's voice was not loud, but Xiang Yi, who was not far away, heard it clearly, and almost spat out a mouthful of blood from his heart. That was the one he had just drunk from! But what was unclean about it!
“Oh.” Kong Yiyue obediently found a bottle that had not been opened yet. Then, she drank her drink nonchalantly while watching them play.
Although this kind of gathering was nothing new, the only thing that could become a topic of discussion the next day was the relationship between Kong Yiyue and Fu Jinting.
As for what exactly their relationship was, to outsiders, it only seemed murky and unclear.
In the class, Fu Jinting and Kong Yiyue had almost no intimate actions, and they didn't even seem to have spoken in front of the classmates. What was unusual was the occasional eye contact.
After the final exams of the third year of high school, on the first day of the second semester, a shocking piece of news spread: Kong Yiyue and Fu Jinting tied for first place in the grade.
Kong Yiyue was pleased that she had finally climbed to the top spot, so when she saw Fu Jinting, she quietly stared at him without any evasion, her eyes unblinking.
Although they hadn't seen each other for a month, Fu Jinting only glanced at her before looking away. Seeing him like this, Kong Yiyue felt a sense of loss.
She finally waited until noon, Fu Jinting hadn't left his seat yet, so Kong Yiyue quickly walked over, “Fu Jinting.”
Looking at the palm suddenly outstretched in front of him, Fu Jinting asked, “What?”
“You said that if I got first place, you would tell me your phone number.”
Fu Jinting didn't expect her to remember this agreement. He wanted to laugh, but he still held back. “When did that happen?”
Hearing him ask that, Kong Yiyue instinctively felt that he was trying to deny it. “During the gathering last semester, you clearly said it.”
“I don't remember.”
“Fu Jinting!” Kong Yiyue was anxious.
“What?”
“You're a rogue!”
“Heh, that's really novel. It's the first time I've heard someone comment that I'm a rogue. It feels pretty good.”
Seeing his confident and indifferent look, Kong Yiyue also started to act shamelessly, “If you don't tell me, then I'll pester you every day for the next few months!”
Fu Jinting rolled his eyes at her, “Is that how lofty your aspirations are?”
“Yes! It's just to make you mine!”
“...” Every time Kong Yiyue talked about this topic, she could be so thick-skinned.
Fu Jinting got up and then said a string of numbers.
Kong Yiyue was unprepared and didn't have time to remember it, so she had to ask him to repeat it again.
Fu Jinting glanced at her, sarcastically saying, “Is your memory only this good?”
Kong Yiyue didn't admit it. “My memory is great! You just said it so suddenly, I didn't pay attention.”
Fu Jinting was helpless and had to repeat it again, adding after he finished, “I won't say it a third time.”
Kong Yiyue got his phone number, her lips flashing a satisfied smile, “I remembered it.”
Although she got his phone number, Kong Yiyue did not contact him immediately.
When Fu Jinting returned home that night, a series of unusual behaviors made Fu Qingrui curious. “Brother, why are you looking at your phone so many times while eating and watching TV!” Even after taking a shower, Fu Jinting wiped his hair while picking up the phone on the table with one hand. After lighting up the phone screen, the corners of his mouth pursed, and he threw the phone into the bedding in a fit of pique.
Fu Qingrui stood at the door, watching his every move. “Brother, what are you doing? Are you sexually frustrated?”
Fu Jinting's face was indeed not very good-looking. “Don't you think you're talking too much!”
Fu Qingrui smiled meaningfully: “Brother, is it because you're going abroad next month and you're thinking about not being able to see someone, so you're angry?”
As soon as this topic was mentioned, Fu Jinting's face became even gloomier. “Fu Qingrui, don't bully her.”
Fu Qingrui protested: “Where did I bully her? The only time was the last time with the loan. Although it was a usurious loan, didn't the loan get transferred to your name? I got nothing out of it. Not only did the money gone, but I didn't get any benefits at all!”
Fu Jinting originally planned to wait for Kong Yiyue to pitifully come and beg him, but after waiting for a few days, he didn't see her. Later, he asked someone to investigate and found out that she had returned to Gucheng. Before she returned to Gucheng, the person she met was Fu Qingrui.
Then the only reason Kong Yiyue left Qinglin City was that Fu Qingrui lent her the money. Fu Jinting later checked Fu Qingrui's account and found that there was indeed a capital flow of 500,000 yuan.
Fu Jinting knew Fu Qingrui's nature well. If there was no profit, he would not be so kind to help.
After returning home, he asked him and learned the truth. Fu Jinting used tough methods to demand the loan certificate between him and Kong Yiyue.
Fu Qingrui complained: “Fu Jinting, that's my money!” Why are you the one benefiting!
Fu Jinting took it for granted: “Don't interfere with Kong Yiyue's affairs!”
It's that sentence again! Fu Qingrui was unhappy. “You always tell me not to interfere! Does it mean that only you can interfere with her affairs!”
Fu Jinting would certainly not answer him such a question.
Now, Kong Yiyue has once again become the content of the conversation between the two. Fu Jinting thought that he would be living abroad for four years of university, leaving Kong Yiyue alone in the country, and couldn't help but think: In the next few years that I'm not in the country, will she be safe?
As a result, he was so preoccupied with thinking about her and waiting for her call or message that he didn't sleep well all night.
Having not slept well, it was inevitable that he was in a bad mood when he got up early the next morning. After returning to the classroom, the first thing he did was to look for Kong Yiyue's figure. Seeing her sitting in her seat, looking down and reading seriously.
Fu Jinting felt annoyed. When class was over, he saw Hou Guang Lue approaching her again, and his face darkened again.
Kong Yiyue didn't know his mood. Several days passed, and on Friday evening, Kong Yiyue was packing up and about to return to the dormitory. Unfortunately, she and Fu Jinting walked out of the front door of the classroom one after another.
